ARTICLE 5

INTEREST

5.1 Interest Rate.

(a) The Loan will bear interest at the Applicable Rate, unless the Default Rate is applicable. Except as expressly provided herein, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be the “Applicable Rate”. Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on the tenth (10th) day of every calendar month in the amount of all interest accrued and unpaid. All payments (whether of principal or of interest) shall be deemed credited to Borrower’s account only if received by 12:00 noon Brooklyn, Ohio, time on a Business Day; otherwise, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.

(b) If Agent determines in its reasonable discretion (i) that Dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the Loan for the designated LIBOR Rate Interest Period are not generally available at such time in the London interbank market for deposits in Dollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of maintaining a LIBOR Rate on such portion of the Loan or of funding the same for such LIBOR Rate Interest Period due to circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining a LIBOR Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then, in any such event, Agent shall so notify Borrower and all portions of the Loan bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate (or such lower rate as required by applicable law) until such time as the situations described above are no longer in effect or can be avoided, at which time the Loan shall again accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

(c) Interest at the Applicable Rate (or Default Rate) shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of repayment.

(d) Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs incurred from time to time by Lenders upon demand.

(e) If the introduction of or any change in any Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate with respect to the Loan or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan or any portion thereof in Dollars in the London interbank market, or to give effect to its obligations regarding the accrual of interest on the Loan at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate as contemplated by the Loan Documents, then (1) Agent shall notify Borrower that Lenders are no longer able to maintain the Applicable Rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (2) the Applicable Rate for any portion of the Loan for which the Applicable Rate is then an Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Adjusted Base Rate, and (3) Borrower shall pay to Agent the amount of Breakage Costs (if any) incurred in connection with such conversion. Thereafter, the Loan shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Base Rate until such time as the situation described herein is no longer in effect or can be avoided, at which time the Loan shall again accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

(f) The Loan shall bear interest at the Default Rate upon the election of the Lenders at any time at which an Event of Default shall exist.

ARTICLE 6

COSTS OF MAINTAINING LOAN

6.1 Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.

(a) Borrowers recognize that the cost to the Lenders of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof may fluctuate and, Borrowers agree to pay Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders additional amounts to compensate the Lenders for any increase in its actual costs incurred in maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof outstanding or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrowers as a result of:

(i) any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or by any domestic or foreign court, (A) changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Agent (other than taxes imposed on all or any portion of the overall net income or receipts of any Lender), or (B) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by the Lenders (which includes the Loan or any applicable portion thereof), or (C) imposing on any Lender, or the London interbank market generally, any other condition affecting the Loan, provided that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable from Borrowers by Lenders under the Loan Documents; or

(ii) the maintenance by any Lender of reserves in accordance with reserve requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States with respect to “Eurocurrency Liabilities” of a similar term to that of the applicable portion of the Loan (without duplication for reserves already accounted for in the calculation of a LIBOR Rate pursuant to the terms hereof).

(b) If the application of any Law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted or arising out of the July, 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in any of the foregoing, or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender would have achieved but for such application, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time Borrowers shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding.

(c) Any amount payable by Borrowers under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrowers of a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Agent setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Agent to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of each Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrowers prompt notice of any event described in subsection (a) or (b) above, of the amount of the reserve and capital adequacy payments resulting therefrom and the reasons therefor and of the basis of calculation of such amount; provided, however, that any failure by Agent to so notify Borrowers shall not affect Borrowers’ obligation to pay the reserve and capital adequacy payment resulting therefrom.

6.2 Borrower Withholding.

If by reason of a change in any applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, any Borrower is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of any Lender or any franchise tax imposed on any Lender), duties or other charges

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

   Page 21


from any payment due under the Notes, the sums due from such Borrower in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Lender receives and retains a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required to be made.

Borrowers will not suffer or permit any mechanics’ lien claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against any Project, and will promptly discharge the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof, provided, however, that Borrowers shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence the validity of any such lien or claim upon furnishing to the Title Insurer such security or indemnity as it may require to induce said Title Insurer to issue an endorsement to the Title Policy insuring against all such claims or liens; and provided further, that the aggregate amount of liens so insured against at any time shall not exceed $25,000.00 for any one Project or $150,000.00 in the aggregate without Agent’s prior written consent.

(d) Settlement of Mechanics’ Lien Claims. If Borrowers shall fail promptly either (i) to discharge any such lien, or (ii) to contest claims asserted and give security or indemnity in the manner provided in subsection (c) of this Section, or having commenced to contest the same, and having given such security or indemnity, shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or to maintain such indemnity or security so required by the Title Insurer for its full amount, or upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be released, then and in any such event Agent may, at its election (but shall not be required to), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may in its sole discretion effect any settlement or compromise of the same, or may furnish such security or indemnity to the Title Insurer, and any amounts so expended by Agent or any Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursement of the proceeds of the Loan hereunder. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien, Agent shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim.

(e) Renewal of Insurance. Borrowers shall maintain, or cause the Operators to maintain, insurance policies to be maintained in compliance with Exhibit E at all times.

(f) Payment of Taxes. Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, all real estate taxes and assessments and charges of every kind upon the Projects before the same become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrowers shall have the right to pay such tax under protest or to otherwise contest any such tax or assessment, but only if (i) such contest has the effect of preventing the collection of such taxes so contested and also of preventing the sale or forfeiture of the Project or any part thereof or any interest therein, (ii) Borrowers have notified Agent of their intent to contest such taxes, and (iii) Borrowers have deposited security in form and amount satisfactory to Agent, in its sole discretion. If Borrowers fail to commence such contest or, having commenced to contest the same, and having deposited such security required by Agent for its full amount, shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, shall fail to pay such tax, assessment or charge, Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may, at its election (but shall not be required to), pay and discharge any such tax, assessment or charge, and any interest or penalty thereon, and any amounts so expended by Agent shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the Loan proceeds hereunder (even if the total amount of disbursements would exceed the face amount of the Notes). Borrowers shall furnish to Agent evidence that taxes are paid at least five (5) days prior to the last date for payment of such taxes and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest.

(g) Escrow Accounts. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall, following the written request of Agent and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, make insurance and tax escrow deposits, in amounts reasonably determined by Agent from time to time as being needed to pay taxes and insurance premiums when due, in an interest bearing escrow account held by Agent in Agent’s name and under its sole dominion and control. All payments deposited in the escrow account, and all interest accruing thereon, are pledged as additional collateral for the Loan. Notwithstanding Agent’s holding of the escrow account, nothing herein shall obligate Agent or any Lender to pay any insurance premiums or real property taxes with respect to any portion of the Projects, provided that, so long as no Event of Default exists, Agent shall make available to Borrowers such funds as may be deposited in the escrow account from time to time for Borrowers’ payment of insurance premiums or real property taxes due with respect to the Projects.

(h) Personal Property. All of Borrowers’ personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the operation of the Projects shall always be located at the applicable Project and shall be kept free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and security interests.

(i) Operating Leases. Each Borrower shall maintain its Operating Lease in full force and effect and timely perform all of its obligations thereunder and not permit the termination or any material amendment of any Operating Lease unless the prior written consent of Lenders is first obtained. Upon the occurrence of default by an Operator under an Operating Lease that is not cured within applicable notice and cure periods, upon Lenders’ request, Borrowers shall promptly engage oversight management services from a management company reasonably acceptable to the Lenders. In the event that bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings are instituted by or against any Operator, each Borrower shall (to the extent permitted by the applicable bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over such proceedings), upon written instruction received from Agent, terminate the Operating Lease.

(j) Defaults Under Leases. Borrowers will not suffer or permit any breach or material default to occur in any of Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Leases nor suffer or permit the same to terminate by reason of any failure of Borrowers to meet any requirement of any Lease, which default or failure results in a Material Adverse Change, including, without limitation, under any Operating Lease between any of the Borrowers and any Operator.

(k) Agent’s Attorneys’ Fees for Enforcement of Agreement. In case of any default or Event of Default hereunder, Borrowers (in addition to Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any, to be paid pursuant to Section 7.3) will pay Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees (including, without limitation, any attorney and paralegal fees and costs incurred in connection with any litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Agent or any Lender employs counsel (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted) for advice or other representation with respect to the Projects, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate the Project, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in any portion of the Project, or to enforce any rights of Agent and each Lender or any of Borrowers’ obligations

(l) Appraisals. Agent shall have the right to obtain a new or updated Appraisal of any Project from time to time. Borrowers shall cooperate with Agent in this regard.

Lender reserves the right to require that the annual and/or quarterly financial statements of Borrowers, or Guarantor be audited and prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm or independent certified public accounting firm acceptable to Lender, at their respective sole cost and expense, if (i) an Event of Default exists, or (ii) if Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that the unaudited financial statements do not accurately represent the financial condition of Borrowers or Guarantor as the case may be. Lender further reserves the right to require such other financial information of Borrowers, Guarantor, and/or the Projects, at such other times (including monthly or more frequently) as it shall deem necessary. All financial statements must be in the form and detail as Lender shall from time to time reasonably request. Borrowers shall during regular business hours permit Agent or any of its agents or representatives (after twenty-four hours prior notice to Borrowers unless an Event of Default exists) to have access to and examine all of its books and records regarding the development and operation of each Project.

(n) Lost Note. Upon any Lender’s furnishing to Borrowers an affidavit to such effect, Borrowers shall, if the applicable Note is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, deliver to such Lender, in substitution therefor, a new note containing the same terms and conditions as the such Note.

(o) INDEMNIFICATION. BORROWERS SHALL INDEMNIFY AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS (EACH, AN “INDEMNIFIED PARTY”) AND DEFEND AND HOLD EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, INJURY, DAMAGE, LOSS AND LIABILITY, COST AND EXPENSE (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS AND EXPENSES) OF ANY AND EVERY KIND TO ANY PERSONS OR PROPERTY BY REASON OF (I) THE OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THE PROJECT; (II) ANY BREACH OF REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT; OR (III) ANY OTHER MATTER ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN, ANY BORROWER OR PROJECT (EXPRESSLY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY). NO INDEMNIFIED PARTY SHALL, HOWEVER, BE ENTITLED TO BE INDEMNIFIED AGAINST ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

(p) No Additional Debt. Except for the Loan, no Borrower shall incur any indebtedness (whether personal or nonrecourse, secured or unsecured) other than customary trade payables paid within sixty (60) days after they are incurred and equipment lease financing in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, Borrowers shall be permitted to enter into recourse debt with the consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Agent.

(q) Compliance With Laws. Each Borrower shall comply with all applicable requirements (including applicable Laws) of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Borrower or any applicable Project.

(r) Organizational Documents. No Borrower shall, without the prior written consent of Agent, permit or suffer (i) a material amendment or modification of its organizational documents, (ii) the admission of any new member, partner or shareholder, or (iii) any dissolution or termination of its existence.

(s) Furnishing Reports. Within thirty (30) days from receipt thereof, Borrowers shall provide Agent with copies of all inspections, reports, test results and other information received by any Borrower, which relate to any Project or any part thereof in any material respect.

Pursuant to applicable law, the licenses and permits required for Operator to operate the Projects as a skilled nursing facility (the “Operator Permits”) may not be transferred or new Operator Permits issued prior to August 1st of any calendar year and application of such transfer or issuance cannot be made more than thirty (30) days prior to August 1, 2013.

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

   Page 28


Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the Operators have not been issued Operator Permits. Borrower agrees to cause Operator to apply for the issuance of new Operator Permits (the “New Operator Permits”) in a timely manner. Furthermore, as is customary practice in the State of Arkansas, in order for the Operators to operate the Projects during the period prior to the issuance of the New Operator Permits, (i) each Operator, as a sublessor, and each of the existing holders of the Operating Permits (the “Existing Permit Holders”), as a sublessee, have entered a Sublease Agreement of even date herewith with respect to each Project (individually, a “Sublease” and collectively, the “Subleases”) and (ii) each Existing Permit Holder and an affiliate of Operator, as a manager, have entered into a Management Agreement of even date herewith with respect to each Project (individually, a “Management Agreement” and collectively, the “Management Agreements”) (the Subleases and Management Agreements being collectively referred to as the “Interim Agreements”), which Interim Agreements shall terminate upon issuance of the New Operator Permits. Lender and Borrower acknowledge the foregoing arrangement with respect to the Operator Permits and issuance of New Operator Permits.

(u) Furnishing Notices. Borrowers shall provide Agent with copies of all material notices pertaining to any Project received by any Borrower from any Operator, any Governmental Authority or insurance company within seven (7) days after such notice is received.

(v) Alterations. Without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent will be not be unreasonably withheld, Borrowers shall not make, or permit to be made, any material alterations to any Project, other than alterations and improvements in the ordinary course of business and the Immediate Repairs.

(w) Distributions. At all times while any indebtedness under the Loan remains outstanding, Borrowers shall not make any distributions to partners, members or shareholders; provided, however, so long as no Event of Default exists as of the date of any such distribution and after giving effect thereto, Borrowers shall have access to and may use any or all Monthly Excess Cash Flow for any cash distribution. If an Event of Default occurs, Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, may take all Monthly Excess Cash Flow and apply the same to the aggregate outstanding balance under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall be permitted to make equity distributions as, and in an amount, necessary to maintain REIT status whether or not an Event of Default exists.

(x) Minimum Occupancy. Borrowers shall not permit the aggregate Occupancy level for the Projects to be less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the number Available Beds based upon the average trailing twelve (12) months. Such covenant shall be tested on a quarterly basis commencing on September 30, 2013, and continuing on the last day of each quarter thereafter until the Final Maturity Date. The initial calculation shall be based upon a trailing three months with each successive test aggregating the prior period or periods until a trailing twelve months is achieved. If the foregoing covenant is not achieved for any quarter during the term of the Loan for which it is tested, Borrowers shall submit to Agent within thirty (30) days following such failure, a written plan of correction reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, detailing the Borrowers’ plan to bring the Projects into compliance with such covenant. If the Projects fail to achieve the required level for a second consecutive quarter, upon request by Agent, Borrowers shall (1) promptly retain a marketing consultant satisfactory to the Agent to advise the Borrowers regarding the Projects, (2) obtain and submit the recommendations or reports of such marketing consultant to Agent within thirty (30) days following the engagement of the marketing consultant, and (3) promptly implement the recommendations of the foregoing marketing consultant. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Agent agrees that failure of the Projects to achieve the occupancy covenant shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Event of Default so long as Borrowers provide Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent that a marketing plan submitted to and approved by Lender is being timely implemented to correct the non-compliance.

(y) Minimum Debt Service Coverage. Borrowers shall not permit the Debt Service Coverage to be less than 1.45 to 1.0 at all times. Such covenant shall be tested on a quarterly basis commencing on September 30, 2013, and continuing on the last day of each quarter thereafter until the Final Maturity Date. The initial calculation shall be based upon a trailing three months with each successive test aggregating the prior period or periods until a trailing twelve months is achieved.

(z) Minimum Rent Coverage. Borrowers shall not permit the Rent Coverage to be less than that set forth in Schedule II attached hereto. Such covenant shall be tested on a quarterly basis in accordance with such Schedule and for the periods therein set forth.

(iii) to maintain sufficient inventory and equipment of types and quantities at the Project to enable each Borrower and Operator to perform operations of the Projects adequately;

(iv) to keep all improvements and equipment located on or used or useful in connection with each Project in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time to time make all needed and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, and improvements thereto to keep the same in good operating condition;

(v) to maintain sufficient cash in the operating accounts of the Projects in order to satisfy the working capital needs of the Projects;

(vi) to keep all required permits current and in full force and effect; and

(ff) Fraud and Abuse.

(i) Anti-Kickback Law. After consultation with counsel concerning the federal anti-kickback law (42 U.S.C.A. SEC. 1320a-7b(b)), neither Borrowers nor their agents shall offer or give any remuneration or thing of value to any person to encourage referral to the Projects nor will Borrowers or their agents solicit or receive any remuneration or thing of value in exchange for Borrowers’ agreement to make referrals or to purchase goods or services for the Projects.

(ii) Relationships. Except for indirect ownership interests in any Borrower as a result of ownership of publicly traded shares of stock of Guarantor, Borrowers will not allow a physician or other healthcare practitioner to have an ownership interest in, or financial relationship with, a Borrower or any Project.

(d) Any Borrower or Guarantor shall commence a voluntary case concerning any Borrower or Guarantor under Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy” as now or hereafter in effect, or any successor thereto or any other present or future bankruptcy or insolvency statute (the “Bankruptcy Code”); or an involuntary proceeding is commenced against any Borrower or Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code and relief is ordered against any Borrower or Guarantor, or the petition is controverted but not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the case, or a custodian (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) is appointed for or takes charge of all or substantially all of the property of any Borrower or Guarantor; or any Borrower or Guarantor commences any other proceedings under any reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution, insolvency or liquidation or similar Law of any jurisdiction whether now or hereafter in effect relating to any Borrower or Guarantor; or there is commenced against any Borrower or Guarantor any such proceeding which remains undismissed or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days; or any Borrower or Guarantor fails to controvert in a timely manner any such case under the Bankruptcy Code or any such proceeding, or any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered; or any Borrower or Guarantor by any act or failure to act indicates its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in any such case or proceeding or the appointment of any custodian or the like of or for it for any substantial part of its property or suffers any such appointment to continue undischarged or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days.

(e) Any Borrower or Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee or liquidator of all of its property or the major part thereof or if all or a substantial part of the assets of any Borrower or Guarantor are attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or are levied upon, or come into the possession of any receiver, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors.

(h) If any Borrower shall fail to pay any debt owed by it or is in default under any agreement with Lender or any other party which failure to pay or default would have a Material Adverse Change to Borrowers, the Projects or Borrowers’ ability to perform their obligations under this Agreement, and such failure or default continues after any applicable grace or cure period specified in the instrument or agreement relating thereto.

ARTICLE 15

LENDERS’ REMEDIES IN EVENT OF DEFAULT

15.1 Remedies Conferred Upon Lenders.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default that is continuing, Agent may, and at the request of Required Lenders shall, pursue any one or more of the following remedies concurrently or successively, it being the intent hereof that none of such remedies shall be to the exclusion of any other:

(a) Take possession of the Projects and do anything which is necessary or appropriate in its sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including either the right to avail itself of and procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same contractors or others. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, each Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Projects to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Projects; to execute all applications and certificates in the name of each Borrower prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements or the Projects; to take action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any of the bonds to be furnished hereunder and to make settlements and compromises with the surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction; and to do any and every act which any Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked;

(b) Declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable;

(c) Use and apply any monies or letters of credit deposited by any Borrower with Agent, regardless of the purposes for which the same was deposited, to cure any such default or to apply on account of any indebtedness under this Agreement which is due and owing to Lenders;

(d) Exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or conferred upon Lenders by operation of Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 14(d), all amounts evidenced by the Notes shall automatically become due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to Borrowers.

16.3 GOVERNING LAW.

EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE MORTGAGE, ALL OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

16.4 Acquiescence Not to Constitute Waiver of Lenders’ Requirements.

Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of the Lenders contained in this Agreement may be waived by the Lenders, provided, however, that to the extent that the Lenders may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any construction or nonconstruction conditions precedent to the Opening of the Loan or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Lenders of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds.

16.5 Disclaimer by Lenders.

This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrowers and the Lenders, and no other person or persons shall have any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, or by reason of any actions taken by Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any debts or claims accruing in favor of any such parties against any Borrower or others or against the Project. The Lenders, by making the Loan or taking any action pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, shall not be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with any Borrower or any fiduciary of Borrower.

16.6 Partial Invalidity; Severability.

If any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person, party or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision or provisions to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

16.8 Execution in Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

16.9 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan Documents and all certificates and other documents delivered by Borrowers to the Lenders, embody the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

16.10 Waiver of Damages.

In no event shall Agent or any Lender be liable to any Borrower for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, whatever the nature of a breach by Agent or any Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and each Borrower for itself and Guarantor waive all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.

16.11 Claims Against Lenders.

Neither Agent nor any Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of any Borrower shall have been given to Agent within three (3) months after such Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which such Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and such person does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. Each Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Agent or any Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Agent or any Lender as to which such Borrower does not give such notice timely as aforesaid. Each Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to the Lenders’ ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between the Lenders and Borrowers with regard to the Loan.

16.12 Jurisdiction.

TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE MARSHALLING OF ASSETS BY THE LENDERS. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, COUNTY OF CUYAHOGA, STATE OF OHIO, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE AGENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH BORROWER FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY STATE OF OHIO OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, COUNTY OF CUYAHOGA, STATE OF OHIO MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO SUCH BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED BELOW, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF A BORROWER SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.

ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

19.1 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Each Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer, sell, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate this Agreement and any of its rights and security hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any other Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent of the Agent and with the prior written consent of Borrower, which consents by the Agent and the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required if the Eligible Assignee is also a Lender as of the date

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

   Page 39


hereof or if an Event of Default then exists) and no consent of the Agent shall be required if the Eligible Assignee is also a Lender; provided, however, that (i) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its approval and acceptance, an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (the “Assignment and Assumption”), (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) if the potential assignee is not already a Lender hereunder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the assignment, the potential assignee shall deliver to Agent all information reasonably necessary for Agent to successfully complete the Agent’s Patriot Act Customer Identification Process and OFAC Review Process, (iv) unless the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrowers otherwise consent, the aggregate amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment shall in no event be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), (v) the Agent shall receive from the assigning Lender a processing fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), and (vi) if the assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire interest in the Loan, the assigning Lender must retain at least a Ten Million Dollar ($10,000,000.00) interest in the Loan. The Agent may designate any Eligible Assignee accepting an assignment of a specified portion of the Loan to be a Co-Agent, an “Arranger” or similar title, but such designation shall not confer on such Assignee the rights or duties of the Agent. Upon such execution, delivery, approval and acceptance, and upon the effective date specified in the applicable Assignment and Assumption, (a) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrowers hereby agree that all of the rights and remedies of Lenders in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrowers by an Eligible Assignee with the same force and effect and to the same extent as the same would have been enforceable but for such assignment, and (b) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Eligible Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) except as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or the performance or observance by each Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (iii) such Eligible Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement together with such financial statements, Loan Documents and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender hereunder; (iv) such Eligible Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Eligible Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Eligible Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in its records the names and address of each Lender and the Commitment of, and Percentage of the Loan owing to, such Lender from time to time. Borrowers, the Agent and Lenders may treat each entity whose name is so recorded as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Upon receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been properly completed and consented to if required herein, accept such Assignment and Assumption, and record the information contained therein in its records, and the Agent shall use its best efforts to give prompt notice thereof to Borrowers (provided that neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be liable for any failure to give such notice).

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

   Page 40


(e) Borrowers shall, at no cost or expense to Borrowers, use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Agent and each Lender in connection with the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the sale of participations herein.

(f) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder. To facilitate any such pledge or assignment, the Agent shall, at the request of such Lender, enter into a letter agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank in, or substantially in, the form of the exhibit to Appendix C to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Operating Circular No. 12.

(g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another branch or Affiliate of such Lender without first obtaining the approval of any Agent or the Borrowers, provided that (i) such Lender remains liable hereunder unless the Borrowers and Agent shall otherwise agree, (ii) at the time of such assignment such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender, (iii) such Lender gives the Agent and Borrower at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such assignment; (iv) the parties to each such assignment execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and (v) the Agent receives from the assigning Lender a processing fee of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500).

(h) Each Lender shall have the right, without the consent of the Borrowers, to sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan and the Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation its Commitment to Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and with regard to any and all payments to be made under this Agreement and (iv) the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to voting rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (but such holder may contract with the Lender selling such Eligible Assignee its interest in such Lender’s share of the Loan as to voting of such Lender’s interest under Section 20.6(b) [but not under any other section of this Agreement], provided that any such agreement by a Lender shall bind only such Lender alone and not Borrowers, the other Lenders or the Agent).

(i) No Eligible Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to subassign such rights and obligations. No participant in any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations.

(j) Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Lenders may provide to any Eligible Assignee or participant originals or copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and any other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, letters of credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of Borrowers or received by any Lender in connection with the Loan or with respect to Borrowers, provided that prior to any such delivery or communication, such Eligible Assignees or participants shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any of the foregoing to the same extent that such Lender agreed to preserve such confidentiality. In order to facilitate assignments to Eligible Assignees and sales to Eligible Assignees, Borrowers shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lenders may reasonably require; provided, that no Borrower shall be required (i) to execute any document or agreement which would materially decrease its rights, or materially increase its obligations, relative to those set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including financial obligations, personal recourse, representations and warranties and reporting requirements), or (ii) to expend more than incidental sums of money or incidental administrative time for which it does not receive reasonable reimbursement in order to comply with any requests or requirements of any Lender in connection with such assignment or sale arrangement. In addition, Borrowers agrees to cooperate fully with Lenders in the exercise of Lenders’ rights pursuant to this Section, including providing such information and documentation regarding Borrower as any Lender or any potential Eligible Assignee or participant may reasonably request and to meet with potential Eligible Assignees.

19.2 Several Liability.

Anything in this Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Lender to Borrowers under this Agreement are several and not joint and several; each Lender shall only be obligated to fund its Percentage of each disbursement to be made hereunder up to the amount of its Commitment. During any time, and only during such time, as Agent is the sole Lender and has not assigned any portion or portions of its interest in the Loan to another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, Agent in its individual capacity shall be liable for all of the obligations of the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. From and after the date that Agent as the sole Lender assigns any portion or portions of its interest in the Loan to another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, then Agent shall act as the administrative agent on behalf of itself as a Lender and the other Lenders.

ARTICLE 20

AGENT

20.1 Appointment.

KeyBank National Association is hereby appointed as Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as agent for such Lender and to take such actions as such Lender is obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article in substantially the same manner that it would act in dealing with a loan held for its own account. Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with respect to any Lender by reason of this Agreement.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and Borrowers shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof except as provided in Section 20.2 below. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of Lender and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrowers.

20.2 Reliance on Agent.

All acts of and communications by the Agent, as agent for the Lenders, shall be deemed legally conclusive and binding; and Borrower or any third party (including any court) shall rely on any and all communications or acts of the Agent with respect to the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of a Lender in all circumstances where an action by such Lender is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of any other Loan Document or by applicable law without the right or necessity of making any inquiry of any individual Lender as to the authority of Agent with respect to such matter. In no event shall any of the foregoing limit the rights or obligations of any Lender with respect to any other Lender pursuant to this Article 20.

20.3 Powers.

The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto or are otherwise necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Loan, and may exercise all other powers of Lenders as are not made subject to the consent of the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 20.6(a) or to the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 20.6(b). Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent may consent to or execute easements, plats, dedications, release of minor portions of the collateral and similar documents. The Agent shall not be considered, or be deemed, a separate agent of the Lenders hereunder, but is, and shall be deemed, acting in its contractual capacity as Agent, exercising such rights and powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent or Agent is otherwise entitled to take hereunder. Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

20.4 Disbursements.

(a) At least one (1) Business Day (by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time) prior to the date the Loan is to be disbursed hereunder pursuant to this Agreement (or at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days [by 11:00 a.m. Cleveland time] for such disbursement to be made at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate), the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed disbursement. Each Lender shall make available to Agent (or the funding Lender or entity designated by the Agent), the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of such disbursement (with respect to such Lender, such amount being referred to herein as an “Advance”) in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the date such disbursement is to be made (such date being referred to herein as a “Funding Date”). Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to such time for funding in respect of any Advance that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent such Lender’s Advance, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent and the Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender on or prior to the respective Funding Date, such Lender agrees to pay and Borrowers agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrowers until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent, at (A) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (B) in the case of Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to a disbursement made on such Funding Date. If such Lender shall pay to Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance, and if both such Lender and Borrowers shall have paid and repaid, respectively, such corresponding amount, Agent shall promptly return to Borrowers such corresponding amount in same day funds.

(b) Requests by the Agent for funding by the Lenders of disbursements of the Loan will be made by facsimile. Each Lender shall make its Advance available to the Agent in dollars and in immediately available funds to such Lender and account as the Agent may designate, not later than Noon (Cleveland time) on the Funding Date. Nothing in this Section 20.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make any Advance on any Funding Date, nor shall any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any Advance hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advances hereunder.

20.5 Distribution and Apportionment of Payments.

(a) Subject to Section 20.5(b), payments actually received by Agent for the account of the Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Agent, but in any event within one (1) Business Day, provided that, if any such payments are not distributed to the Lenders within one (1) Business Day after Agent’s receipt thereof, Agent shall pay to such Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) if the applicable payment represents repayment of a portion of the principal of the Loan, the rate of interest applicable to such portion of the Loan, from the date of receipt of such funds by Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to such Lenders provided such funds are received by Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland time) on the date of receipt. All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan, all payments of the fees described in this Agreement (but not in any separate fee letter except to the extent expressly set forth therein), and all payments in respect of any other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion of their respective Percentages or otherwise as provided herein in the other Loan Documents, as the case may be. The Agent shall distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth herein or in its Assignment and Assumption, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that the Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including without limitation instructions from the Required Lenders, or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by the Lenders as they may elect, in writing, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrowers.

(b) If a Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) defaults in making any Advance or paying any other sum payable by it hereunder, such sum together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due until repaid (such sum and interest thereon as aforesaid referred to, collectively, as the “Lender Default Obligation”) shall be payable by the Defaulting Lender (i) to any Lender(s) which elect, at their sole option (and with no obligation to do so), to fund the amount which the Defaulting Lender failed to fund or (ii) to Agent or any other Lender which under the terms of this Agreement is entitled to reimbursement from the Defaulting Lender for the amounts advanced or expended. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has repaid the Lender Default Obligation in full, all amounts which would otherwise be distributed to the Defaulting Lender shall instead be applied first to repay the Lender Default Obligation (to be applied first to interest at the Default Rate and then to principal) until the Lender Default Obligation has been repaid in full (whether by such application or by cure by the Defaulting Lender), whereupon such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender. Any interest collected from Borrowers on account of principal advanced by any Lender(s) on behalf of a Defaulting Lender shall be paid to the Lender(s) who made such advance and shall be credited against the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to pay interest on the amount advanced at the Default Rate. If no other Lender makes an advance a Defaulting Lender failed to fund, a portion of the indebtedness of Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender equal to the Lender Default Obligation shall be subordinated to the indebtedness of Borrowers to all other Lenders and shall be paid only after the indebtedness of Borrowers to all other Lenders is paid. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction of Borrowers as to their desired application of payments. No Defaulting Lender shall have the right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Required Lenders or all Lenders and while any Lender is a Defaulting Lender the requisite percentage of Lenders which constitutes the Required Lenders shall be calculated exclusive of the Percentage of the Defaulting Lender. The Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of the Lender Default Obligation any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the Lender Default Obligation and, to the extent such recovery would not fully compensate the Lenders for the Defaulting Lender’s breach of this Agreement, to collect damages. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, for funds advanced by Agent or any other Lender on account of the Defaulting Lender or any other damages such persons may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) At least five Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it will deliver to the Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI further undertakes to deliver the Agent two additional copies of such form (or a successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, in each case certifying that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender advises the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

20.6 Consents and Approvals.

(a) Each of the following shall require the approval or consent of the Required Lenders:

(i) The exercise of any rights and remedies under the Loan Documents following an Event of Default, provided that absent any direction from the Required Lenders, Agent may exercise any right or remedy under the Loan Documents as Agent may determine in good faith to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Lenders or the collateral securing the Loan;

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

   Page 44


(ii) Appointment of a successor Agent;

(iii) Approval of Post-Default Plan (defined in Section 20.7(d)); and

(iv) Except as referred to in subsection (b) below, approval of any amendment or modification of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or issuance of any waiver of any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(b) Each of the following shall require the approval or consent of all the Lenders:

(i) Extension of the Maturity Date (beyond any extension permitted herein) or forgiveness of all or any portion of the principal amount of the Loan or any accrued interest thereon, or any other amendment of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which would reduce the interest rate options or the rate at which fees are calculated or forgive any loan fee, or extend the time of payment of any principal, interest or fees;

(ii) Reduction of the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders;

(iii) Increasing the amount of the Loan or any non-consenting Lender’s Commitment;

(iv) Release of any lien on any material collateral (except as Borrowers are entitled to under the Loan Documents); and

(v) Amendment of the provisions of this Section 20.6.

(c) In addition to the required consents or approvals referred to in subsections (a) and (b) above, the Agent may at any time request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents, the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without instructions from any Lenders, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders or, where applicable, all Lenders. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Required Lenders have instructed the Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

(d) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents other than this Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the exercise by the Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders, except for actions specifically requiring the approval of all Lenders. All communications from the Agent to the Lenders requesting Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from the Agent (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent (together with a written explanation of the

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

   Page 45


reasons behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, the Agent shall upon receiving the required approval or consent follow the course of action or determination recommended to the Lenders by the Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Required Lenders.

20.7 Agency Provisions Relating to Collateral.

(a) The Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, at any time and from time to time, to take any action with respect to any collateral for the Loan or any Loan Document which may be necessary to preserve and maintain such collateral or to perfect and maintain perfected the liens upon such collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Except as provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other person or entity to assure that any collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the liens granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

(c) Should the Agent commence any proceeding or in any way seek to enforce the Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether as a result thereof the Agent shall acquire title to any collateral, each Lender, upon demand therefor from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses of any such enforcement or acquisition, including, but not limited to, fees of receivers or trustees, court costs, title company charges, filing and recording fees, appraisers’ fees and fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) if the Agent employs counsel for advice or other representation (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to any collateral for the Loan or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents, or the attempt to enforce any security interest or lien on any collateral, or to enforce any rights of the Agent or the Lenders or any of Borrowers’ or any other party’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents, but not with respect to any dispute between Agent and any other Lender(s). It is understood and agreed that in the event the Agent determines it is necessary to engage counsel for Lender from and after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, said counsel shall be selected by the Agent and written notice of such selection, together with a copy of such counsel’s engagement letter and fee estimate, shall be delivered to the Lenders.

(d) In the event that all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan is acquired by the Agent as the result of the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents, title to any such collateral or any portion thereof shall be held in the name of the Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders. The Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such collateral (the “Post-Default Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Required Lenders. The Agent shall administer the collateral in accordance with the Post-Default Plan, and upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent pursuant to the Post-Default Plan, including without limitation, any operating losses and all necessary operating reserves. To the extent there is net operating income from such collateral, the Agent shall, in accordance with the Post-Default Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages. In no event shall the provisions of this subsection or the Post-Default Plan require the Agent or any Lender to take an action which would cause such Lender to be in violation of any applicable regulatory requirements.

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

   Page 46


20.8 Lender Actions Against Borrower or the Collateral.

Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against any Borrower or any other person hereunder or under any other Loan Documents with respect to exercising claims against such Borrower or rights in any collateral without the consent of the Required Lenders. With respect to any action by the Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of the Agent and Lenders with respect to such Borrower and any collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Lender hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained.

20.9 Assignment and Participation.

No Lender shall be permitted to assign or sell all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower.

20.10 Ratable Sharing.

Subject to Sections 20.4 and 20.5, Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Percentages, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or bankers’ lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Loan Documents or any collateral and (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, set-off, bankers’ lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Loan held by it which is greater than its Percentage of the payments on account of the Loan, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Percentages; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

20.11 General Immunity.

Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to Borrowers or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the absence of gross negligence, the Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to Section 20.5, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.

20.12 No Responsibility for Loan, Recitals, etc..

Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any use of the Loan; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any party to any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in this Agreement, except receipt of items purporting to be the items required to be delivered to any Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith, provided that the foregoing shall not release Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

   Page 47


20.13 Action on Instructions of Lenders.

The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by all the Lenders (or the Required Lenders, if such action may be directed hereunder by the Required Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of Lenders. Each Lender, severally to the extent of its Percentage, hereby agrees to indemnify Agent against and hold it harmless from any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, provided that the foregoing shall not release Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

20.14 Employment of Agents and Counsel.

The Agent may undertake any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable to Lenders, except as to money or securities received by them or their authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

20.15 Reliance on Documents; Counsel.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be an employee of Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not release the Agent from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any such counsel shall be deemed to be acting on behalf of Lender in assisting the Agent with respect to the Loan, but shall not be precluded from also representing Agent in any matter in which the interests of Agent and the other Lenders may differ.

20.16 Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification.

Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify Agent ratably (i) for any amounts (excluding principal and interest on the Loan and loan fees) not reimbursed by Borrowers for which Agent is entitled to reimbursement under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lender, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrowers, (iii) for any expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lender which may be necessary or desirable to preserve and maintain collateral or to perfect and maintain perfected the liens upon the collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, if not paid by Borrowers, (iv) for any amounts and other expenses incurred by Agent on behalf of Lender in connection with any default by any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, if not paid by such Lender, and (v) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent.

20.17 Rights as a Lender.

With respect to its Commitment, if any, Agent shall have the same rights, powers and obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacities. Borrowers and each Lender acknowledge and agree that Agent and/or its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, hold other investments in, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction or have other relationships, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with Borrowers or any of their affiliates in which Borrowers or such affiliate are not restricted hereby from engaging with any other person.

 

SECURED LOAN AGREEMENT

   Page 48


20.18 Lenders’ Credit Decisions.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements and other information prepared by Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

20.19 Notice of Events of Default.

Should Agent receive any written notice of the occurrence of a default or Event of Default, or should the Agent send Borrowers a notice of Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall promptly furnish a copy thereof to each Lender.

20.20 Successor Agent.

(a) Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lenders and Borrowers. Such resignation shall take effect on the date set forth in such notice or as otherwise provided below. Such resignation by Agent as agent shall not affect its obligations hereunder, if any, as a Lender.

(b) Upon resignation by the Agent, or any successor Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent with the written consent of Borrowers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent of Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default then exists). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (with the consent of Borrowers as set forth in the preceding sentence), and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may appoint a successor Agent with the consent of Borrower, which shall not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default then exists). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Agent and the Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents other than its liability, if any, for duties and obligations accrued prior to its retirement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this Article 20 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that Synovus Bank, in its sole discretion, elects to become successor Agent, the consent of Borrowers shall not be required.

ARTICLE 21

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH BORROWER AND LENDER EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR RELATING THERETO OR ARISING FROM THE LENDING RELATIONSHIP WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
